Yes, he wants to leave, player may be on his way to Everton “Manager of player that Everton wants to BUY as admitted his player wants to leave and Everton is the likely destination

Everton FC has made this summer all about righting the wrongs of the past. Whether it be financial blunders or a failed effort to sign a player, the former has been somewhat rectified over many years of sustainable practice, with the latter solved through a string of signings, all of whom are long-term targets of Kevin Thelwell’s.

His proactivity in the market has been so refreshing to see, and he could continue to subscribe to this transfer theory with one final deal before the window slams shut. Everton’s approach this summer has been shrewd, identifying players who can make an immediate impact while also having a long-term vision.

Gian Piero Gasperini, the manager of Atalanta, has provided an honest update on El Bilal Toure, a £26m target for Everton. Speaking to Italian outlet L’Eco di Bergamo, Gasperini sought to provide a pre-season round-up on his squad and their hopes for the season. However, what might interest Evertonians is their plans for El Bilal Toure, their club-record signing who the Toffees tried to sign last year.

Gasperini was forced to admit that Toure wants to leave the club, along with Koopmeiners. This comes after one report stated that Everton could try and sign El Bilal Toure, with Beto going in the opposite direction. It’s quite clear that Thelwell has taken a new path with the money he was afforded this summer.

After all, he simply had to change something, having already made great strides towards sustainability that had at least owed him the chance to try something new. Everton have bought distressed assets this summer, such as Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom, with plans to reignite their spark.

Similarly, Toure could mark yet another coup in this regard, snagging a target who the club wanted last summer after his previous campaign was ravaged by injury. Thelwell’s strategy is to acquire low-risk deals on players with their entire careers ahead of them, but with a point to prove as they are suffering from a dip at this moment in time.
